Integrating students from different ethnic groups in the same schools allows children to better understand and respect each other from a young age, and is also crucial to the future of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, according to a local education official.
"I saw people's life (in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) was getting better and better. I believe it will be more beautiful in the future," French writer Sonia Bressler has said.
An outpouring of love and donations helped a Uygur student at Xi'an Jiaotong University in Xi'an pay for surgery necessary to treat a brain auditory nerve sheath tumor.
Despite financial difficulties, a Uygur family who found a baby crying near a dustbin adopted her as its own and has even left the property to her.
